An Introduction

Hi, I’m Tim van de Vall. I make a living creating comics, and am the author of the digital comic book series, “The Adventures of Chartwell.” Some comic books are created by teams, with a writer, penciler, inker, colorist, and letterer, but I do all these things by myself. I guess I’m a bit of a comic book one-man band.

As I create, I learn, and in order to share what I’ve learned, I’ve started this site, “Creating Comics with Tim van de Vall.” Here I provide tutorials, resources, and ideas on how to reach your full potential as a comic book creator.

My Goals

Share what I’ve learned with other artists and writers via my blog, “Creating Comics with Tim van de Vall.”
